It was a beautiful, sunny day, despite the cold (about 4-45 deg. F or around 5 deg. C). I ventured out to Watertown Square and rode back to "our fair city" (Cambridge) along the bike path.

To me, it seems we had a strange autumn. The foliage came early in places, as we had dry weather from August into September. But, it seems many trees have been more reluctant than normal when it comes to changing the color of their leaves. Of course, the oaks are the curmudgeons of the forest, usually the last to drop the canopy. But many other trees seem a bit late, too. So, there are green trees surrounding bare trees.
Usually, around Halloween, the peak foliage is with us. But, a week later, there's still a good bit of foliage remaining. Never-theless, in the bright sunlight of midday, the trees of the riverbank put on a good show splendid in the deep hues their late fall foliage.
